I want to thank you for your rebuttal to my post from Monday. I found it amusing and instructional. Amusing that it took you almost 2000 words to disapprove, in part, my opinions and my actions. It would have taken me about 150. But you were trying to make a point. You did kinda lose me there, though…

And instructional; Outing people, especially when they’ve already been outed is useless and tacky. I didn’t follow the #1 credo of Trans*women worldwide: Thou shall not out thy fellow Trans*. So when you deleted my comments in their entirety, I probably deserved it. But I found this interesting:

…Trying to frame her as some sort of ‘age purist’, or a ‘teen troll’, or an ‘old hag’, is what it is. She and i are about the same age. Make your own conclusions. i don’t have any desire to engage with Liz/Cloudy or anyone who promotes HSTS in any form… -Anonymous T Girl

Throwing someone a bone, Susan?

To the meat and potatoes, shall we?

Susan, I’m offering you…

A Challenge!

I challenge you to appear on the steps of the Capitol in Washington, DC on March 14th, 2011 for Transgender Lobby Day. I’ll be there, along with friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and others. You write some mean shit on your blog and have had some straight-shooting comments elsewhere, but do you have the guts to truly put yourself on the line? Are you willing to do something greater than yourself and the entertainment value of your blog?

I am.

I plan on lobbying the most conservative representatives in my home state of Georgia, including my home district, the 11th, represented by Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.). I’m sure you could do the same for your district, and other conservative districts in Texas.

Maybe this isn’t worth your time and effort.

Or maybe you just don’t want to be seen with other Trans*.

You could just as easily call your reps or even visit with them anytime. But this is different.

This shows solidarity.

Not capitulation.

So what do you think, Susan? Up to the challenge?

Or is it too much to ask.

I’ll be there waiting.

Looks like a certain Susan (not allowed to use her maiden name), has rejected my challenge to meet on the Capitol steps on Mar 14. So I guess I’ll have to meet with her representative myself, who happens to be Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), 14th district, a hero of mine. An OB/GYN, we’ll have lots to chat about regarding medical legitimacy for Transsexuals. Sure you don’t want to join me, Susan?

Edit (2)

Upon careful consideration, I’ve removed Susan’s last name from the title of this post.
